Citizen complaint of the day: Burp!

By adamg - 2/7/13 - 9:12 am

An outraged South End citizen notes this overstuffed trash receptacle at Berkeley and Chandler and wonders when the South End will stop playing third fiddle to its neighbors:

So typical all over the South End.... Never see this on Beacon Hill or the Back Bay...

Same bin but from the other side.

South End

You can't see the trash inside...but they have to be emptied regularly and I'm not sure DPW's have figured that out, yet.

I'm quick to send an email when the one my corner looks neglected, but that's in Lynn.

Please, someone give this person a tissue.

Then cue up the violin. Just imagine if they lived in Chinatown and saw this:

If the bin is full, or some moron tried to stuff too much trash in the "mouth".

If you look at the second complaint, that's exactly what the issue is. So in response to the first complaint, what's wrong with people in the South End that they can't correctly throw away their trash.

Household Trash

Looks like somebody stuffed a household garbage bag in there and didn't even try to parcel it out.

Which begs the question: why don't densely populated neighborhoods like the North End, South End, Chinatown, etc. have Euro-style neighborhood dumpster systems so people don't feel like they have to do stuff like this? Seems to also cut down on the rats on trash day issue, too.
